Canon Rebel or Nikon D60?

Question

I've heard bad things about the auto-focus and white balance on the Canons...anyone had experience with these 2 cameras? If so, is the D60 really worth the extra money?

Answer 1

Depends on which rebel You're talking about, like the rebel xt is below the  d60, and the xti is the equivalent to the d60. Personally, i like Nikon brand cameras, because i think the quality is better, and they look physically more pleasing, and professional ( if that makes sense ) The AF ( autofocus ) speed depends on the lens you attach. Naturally, some lenses are faster in aperture, and focus then others. However, that shouldn't distort your mind about getting the rebel ( if it's the XTI ) these cameras are almost the same.

Same everything, megapixels, screen etc. etc. same anti-dust, etc. etc. so, which one you get depends on which brand you like more.  

Answer 2

Look beyond the camera body. You're buying into a whole system...lenses, flashes etc. Do some research in that area.

But what you can't get from reading is how it feels and functions in your hands. Go to a camera store and try them out and see which one works for you, size weight and function operation.

Edit: Two cameras, similar capabilities....how they "look" is FAR less important than how well it fit you personally both ergonomically and intuitively.
